Furthermore, Ephx2 genetic deletion suppressed Cis-induced oxidative and ER stresses and inflammation (Figure 9A-E), downregulated expression levels of COX-2 and p-p65 and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, promoted HO-1 and Nrf2 expressions in Cis-induced AKI mice (Figure 9F&G), and abolished the effect of alisol B as well (Figure 9A-G). The gene discussed is PTGS2; the disease is acute kidney injury.
